On one hand you say you had no army and at the same time you say that even your own uncle was a paramilitary. Sure, I could also say that the crimes committed by GCs at that time was just for defense, but if I do that then I would be just one sided as you are.
Turks are among the top in propaganda, especially recently. What do you call the huge flag drawn on Pentadaktilos? They are even trying to pass their propaganda to the aliens apparently!
200.000 people, all from a certain ethnicity, were forced at gun point to abandon their homes and they were not allowed to return. This is called ethnic cleansing, text book case.
The intercommunal conflict where some 100s of both GCs and TCs lost their lives was between 1963 and 1968. If you want to call those 100s of TCs that died over a period of 5 years as a "genocide", then you have to call the equal number of GCs that died as genocide as well, unless of course the Turkish lives worth more, were GCs can be butchered by the thousands without a problem. Like you could kill 1.5 million Armenians and that was not a genocide, but some 100s of TCs is genocide
The Turkish invasion happened in 1974, 6 years after the intercommunal conflict was over and it had nothing to do with it. The excuse for the invasion was the coup. In fact no TC was harmed in 1974 until after the Turkish invasion had started, and therefore it could not be a reason, or even an excuse for the invasion.
The excuse was the coup, and the reason was that Turkey wanted part of Cyprus for long long time ago.
Here is a map drawn by the Turks in 1957 reveling their plans for invading and occupying part of Cyprus.
